PCI Express? x16 Graphics 150W-ATX Specification 1.0</a>

PCI-SIG announces the availability of the PCI Express? x16 Graphics 150W-ATX Specification 1.0. This is another in a series of specifications that attest to the continued momentum in the adoption of PCI Express architecture as the general-purpose I/O interconnect of choice in computing and communications industries.

The specification is aimed at high-end graphics applications that require increased power. It defines a standard power connector to meet the growing needs of power-hungry graphics engines. The specification is written for ATX chassis implementations. A companion specification for BTX chassis is currently in development in the PCI-SIG.

Hopefully that will be enough for at least two more generations of cards.
